Rod,

>>I am talking about VS 2003. VS 2005 is a actually slow right now. But it is an early beta of course.

I must admit I haven't pushed too far into 2005- we got into the earliest dotNET beta release and had to rewrite stuff when it got changed. But I like the sound of some parts of it, including the promised Winforms performance improvements. ;-)

Sorry, I didn't try out the paint program... I'm thinking more of Winforms that might be relevant in the VFP context, ie detailed entry forms. They sure seem slow to me. But VFP3 seemed slow to me as well, and we released a production app the day VFP3 was officially released. Maybe it doesn't matter- unless somebody dares to mention it ;-)

>>John, from your posts you seem to be pretty darn knowledgable about .NET

No, no, I'm a perpetual student.

>>and you must know that a lot of what is posted is not correct. I know you are more than happy to point out incorrect statements some of us have made (the RV one on west-wind.com if you need a reminder). So why don't you point out where some other members here are incorrect about .NET ?

Well, don't forget the time zone difference. By the time I wake up, at least 50 dotNETites have generally piled all over anybody who suggests a fault in dotNET so I feel disinclined to join in. (There's an answer you'll enjoy!)

Point taken. I'll try to be a more responsible citizen.
